Cosa significa upcycling?
Questa è una nota strategia di abbigliamento sostenibile che consiste letteralmente nell’indossare gli abiti più volte per le occasioni pubbliche, non a caso la Principessa di Galles si fa spesso promotrice di questo per ridurre l’impatto della moda sull’ambiente. Kate ha anche un debole per gli abiti vintage e spesso indossa pezzi di seconda mano o di famiglia.
L’amore per i cappelli di Kate Middleton
Kate – come un tempo anche Lady Diana – è imitata soprattutto per il suo stile, spesso oggetto di attenzione da parte dei media. È considerata un’icona, sicuramente per la sua potente allure regale ma accessibile. La Principessa adora gli accessori come scarpe, borse e, non ultimi per importanza, i cappelli. Kate Middleton ha un debole per i cappelli, soprattutto per quelli frutto dell’estro creativo di Philip Treacy, il famoso cappellaio irlandese. La futura Regina Consorte d’Inghilterra ha indossato molte delle sue creazioni in occasioni ufficiali.
I cappelli, si sa, sono un elemento importante dell’abbigliamento della famiglia reale inglese, sia in occasioni ufficiali che in eventi mondani. Ogni membro della famiglia ha una collezione di cappelli, solitamente realizzati con materiali di alta qualità, come la seta e il velluto, e decorati con nastri, piume e altri elementi di design.
